Sean 'Diddy' Combs Tops Forbes Hip-hop Rich List

Here is Forbes’ annual list of the world’s wealthiest hip
hop artists and guess who sits at the top of it.

American rapper Jay Z’s fortunes jumped 30% last year to
give him an estimated net worth of 810 million dollars, but it was not enough
to dethrone Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Combs retained his No. 1 spot with an estimated net worth of
820 million dollars, helped by his lucrative deals with Ciroc vodka, and his
Sean John clothing line, Forbes said.

But rapper and producer Jay Z moved into second place with
810 million dollars thanks largely to a 200 million dollars investment in his
Tidal music streaming service from wireless carrier Sprint in January.

Forbes produced the list by looking at past earnings and
financial documents, valuing current holdings, and talking to analysts,
attorneys, managers, and other industry players.
